Empathetic Listening and Compassionate Training Our Empathetic Listening and Compassionate Training program provides one-on-one services such as mindfulness and meditation, and trauma-informed practice. The 'You Are Beautiful, I Am Beautiful' Project program has been developed in Upstate New York and involves music, role-playing therapies. We've supported selected Tibetan projects in northern Nepal since the Gorkha earthquake ravaged the area in April 2015. Since its inception, the foundation has achieved several milestones in serving the Tibetan community, particularly in their resettlement in New York. We have provided essential support through donations of food and clothing, as well as programs designed to empower individuals and foster resilience. These include mindfulness training to help overcome challenges, one-on-one meditation sessions, and English tutoring for English as a New Language (ENL) students. Our services are primarily offered throughout Ulster County, especially in Kingston, New Paltz, Hurley, Accord, and Lake Katrine. 2134 18320 You Are Beautiful, I Am Beautiful program began in 2006 in Dublin, Ireland when Yungchen Lhamo visited and performed at a local assisted living facility there serving elderly residents suffering from dementia and in need of long-term nursing care. Since then, the program has further developed in Upstate New York (where One Drop of Kindness is based) and included: musical performances by Yungchen, some featuring Natalie Merchant, and the use of simple Buddhist mantras, for the benefit of homeless, developmentally disabled and mentally ill residents in the area. This ongoing program has received prominent media attention from Newsweek Magazine and Voice of America, and has inspired a similar program that was recently started in Spain. 1144 5230 The foundation's Empathetic Listening and Compassionate Training program brings one-on-one counseling services to some of the neediest individuals living in upstate New York.
